CVE-2026-44965

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

In versions of the Datadog Android application prior to v545-5.9.2, six App Widget configuration activities (IncidentWidgetActivity, MonitorSavedViewWidgetActivity, OnCallShiftsWidgetActivity, OnCallPagesWidgetActivity, SloWidgetActivity, DashboardWidgetActivity) are exported with no permission guard. Each accepts a caller-supplied AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID and, when no deep-link destination is resolved, uses it to load the matching widget's stored session and automatically log in as that user. Because Android widget IDs are small sequential integers, a co-installed application can brute-force this value to find one that matches a widget configured on the victim's device. This requires: A malicious application co-installed on the victim's device. At least one of the six widgets configured on the victim's home screen. An active Datadog session cached locally. Impact: The matching configuration activity opens in the foreground under the victim's session and renders live infrastructure data. Exposure is limited to a visual side channel (e.g., screen recording or accessibility services); the calling application cannot programmatically read the rendered data.

      "value": "En versiones de la aplicación Datadog para Android anteriores a la v545-5.9.2, seis actividades de configuración de App Widget (IncidentWidgetActivity, MonitorSavedViewWidgetActivity, OnCallShiftsWidgetActivity, OnCallPagesWidgetActivity, SloWidgetActivity, DashboardWidgetActivity) se exportan sin una protección de permisos. Cada una acepta un AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID proporcionado por el llamador y, cuando no se resuelve ningún destino de enlace profundo, lo utiliza para cargar la sesión almacenada del widget correspondiente e iniciar sesión automáticamente como ese usuario. Debido a que los ID de los widgets de Android son enteros secuenciales pequeños, una aplicación co-instalada puede forzar por fuerza bruta este valor para encontrar uno que coincida con un widget configurado en el dispositivo de la víctima.\nEsto requiere:\nUna aplicación maliciosa co-instalada en el dispositivo de la víctima.\nAl menos uno de los seis widgets configurados en la pantalla de inicio de la víctima.\nUna sesión activa de Datadog almacenada en caché localmente.\nImpacto: La actividad de configuración correspondiente se abre en primer plano bajo la sesión de la víctima y renderiza datos de infraestructura en vivo. La exposición se limita a un canal lateral visual (por ejemplo, grabación de pantalla o servicios de accesibilidad); la aplicación llamadora no puede leer programáticamente los datos renderizados."
